Tia felt puzzled as she watched Gray's scythe turn into a door.
Wasn't that Gray's Mystic Code? Wasn't the main form of that Mystic Code King Arthur's Holy Lance? Why could it turn into this shape?
"Stop!" The Skeleton King roared angrily when he saw this scene. "What are you guys doing!"
"Skeleton King, I'll still call you that for now. This village isn't a place for you to run wild. I won't let you cause trouble!" Gray said to the Skeleton King.
"You..." The Skeleton King wanted to continue roaring, but as more and more villagers ran away, the aura on the Skeleton King became weaker and weaker, and he couldn't even launch attacks.
After the last villager ran out, the Skeleton King became completely silent.
"Skeleton King?" Gray took back his Mystic Code, changed it back into a black scythe, and then softly called out to the silent Skeleton King.
"Yes, I didn't expect I'd become like this," the Skeleton King suddenly spoke, but his tone was clearly different from before. The current Skeleton King's tone was very cold, just like a robot.
But Tia knew in her heart that this tone was actually the Skeleton King's true nature.
"Someone made Logos React go crazy. After I was controlled by Logos React, I became like this," the Skeleton King said.
Tia frowned when she heard the Skeleton King's words.
Originally, Logos React, one of the seven great weapons of the Atlas Institute, was just an intelligent AI. It wasn't even a living thing. But in the Lord El-Melloi II Case Files, Logos React had a bug. The Logos React, which originally didn't know what death was, had an error in itself because it suddenly came into contact with the concept of "death," which ultimately led to its going crazy.
But in this world, Logos React couldn't have had the chance to make mistakes. Logos React couldn't have had the opportunity to come into contact with the concept of death, so the original accident couldn't have happened.
But now someone forcibly implanted the concept of death into Logos React, causing Logos React to go crazy.
Could it be that person?
At this time, Tia suspected that it was another Reincarnated Person besides herself who had done it, after all, he had already done a lot before.
Just then, Aozaki Touko suddenly asked.
"I wonder what the shield in front of King Arthur was just now?"
Lancelot heard these words, and immediately realized that a shield had indeed appeared in front of King Arthur just now to help her block the attack, and now that he thought about it, the shape of that shield was exactly the same as Mash's shield.
Lancelot didn't immediately realize the appearance of the shield before, because Gray's appearance had attracted Lancelot's attention. But now Aozaki Touko's words made Lancelot realize the appearance of the shield again.
"Speaking of which, the appearance of that shield just now is exactly the same as Mash's shield, no, Galahad's shield," Lancelot said directly.
"Actually," Gray suddenly said, explaining, "just recently, Add just gained a brand new shield form in King Arthur's hands, and it can also allow the brand new shield to appear briefly in a virtual state in front of people other than myself."
"That's right, I just came to this village not long ago, and I ran into this matter and met Gray. I came with Gray. As for why I can make that Mystic Code named Add have the appearance of that shield, I'm not particularly clear myself. I just suddenly felt that I seemed to have been in contact with Mash a long time ago, and with Mash's help, I successfully obtained this shield and made it my Noble Phantasm, but I hadn't remembered this matter before, so I hadn't used this shield Noble Phantasm until a few days ago when I suddenly remembered it for some reason. Judging by the time, it should be when Tia just woke up," King Arthur also explained to everyone at this time.
"In other words, all the things that have happened during this time have been focused on the time when Tia woke up?" Aozaki Touko looked at Tia in surprise.
At this time, Tia felt again whether she was completely under someone else's control? Was she under the control of that other Reincarnated Person besides herself?
Just then, a person suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Yes, Tia's awakening was all calculated. Everyone gathering here at this time was planned in advance. The purpose is at this moment, when King Arthur's body, spirit, and soul are gathered together, King Arthur can be truly reborn."
"Dr. Hartless!" Waver was the first to shout at the person who came. "Why is it you!"
But Tia was thinking about what kind of person this Dr. Hartless was now. Was he still the same person as in the original story? Shouldn't he have been affected by the disappearance of evil thoughts?
"Why can't it be me? I've always had a huge interest in the Holy Grail War, and I'm clear about the ending of destruction that this world is facing. I naturally have to stand up to prevent this tragic ending from happening," Dr. Hartless said very righteously.
If Tia didn't know Dr. Hartless's original true appearance, she would really be completely deceived by Dr. Hartless just like everyone else.
At this time, the others present had a sense of admiration for Dr. Hartless's words because they didn't know what kind of person Dr. Hartless was.
Especially the others besides Waver and Reines, they had a very good first impression of Dr. Hartless.
"Is that so? But, don't you want to take care of the Caster problem?" Waver asked back at this time.
Tia frowned at this time.
This Dr. Hartless himself, in the original story, was a person who attempted to overturn the magic world.
Because he had experienced unbearable betrayals, he was very disgusted with the magic system of the current magic world, so he began to secretly plot how to overturn the magic system of the current world.
And Waver's question to Dr. Hartless at this time was to question him whether he had given up on that plan to overturn the magic world?
"That kind of thing is meaningless for now. In the current world, Casters themselves have already been affected in their minds, and the entire magic system has already undergone a subversive change. Magic is no longer a mystery, but something that should be widely promoted. I naturally don't need to continue doing this," Dr. Hartless said to everyone.
"But there's something you need to understand, Dr. Hartless. To prevent the destruction of this world, you must first understand why this world will be destroyed. Once you return the world to normal, then Casters will definitely take the same path as before."
